Trump's Israel ambassador makes profane joke to staff avoiding bombardments

President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, implied in a message sent to embassy staff sheltering in place that they should have sex while they are away from the office.

If the “extended time” with your significant other “results in the birth of your next child in about 9 months, I of course expect that you will want to name the little b----- after me!” Huckabee joked in the memo, which was reported by The Washington Post.

“If it’s a girl, Michelle is a nice name too,” he added, using the feminine version of Huckabee’s full first name “Michael.” A U.S. official told the Post that the memo was perceived as “awkward” and “odd.”

Making matters worse, the latest Huckabee memo comes on the heels of another controversial office message. After Trump’s attack on Iran was announced, Huckabee declared on behalf of the embassy that Americans visiting Israel were on their own.

The embassy “is not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel,” Huckabee’s embassy wrote, instead urging Americans in Israel to seek help from tourism services. “The Israeli Ministry of Tourism has begun operating shuttles to the Taba Border Crossing as of March 2. To be added to the passenger list for a shuttle, you must register via the Ministry’s evacuation form. The US Embassy cannot make any recommendation (for or against) the Ministry of Tourism’s shuttle.”

It concluded, “If you choose to avail yourself of this option to depart, the US government cannot guarantee your safety.”

Huckabee, though not Jewish himself, is militantly pro-Israel because he is a Christian nationalist. Christian nationalists believe that God promised Israel to the Jewish people and that Christians have a mission to protect a Jewish Israeli state. For example, Trump created a White House Faith Office and appointed as a senior adviser a woman who is also his personal spiritual adviser, Pastor Paula White-Cain.

“Not only is this psychopath doomsday cultist Trump's spiritual advisor, but Trump also created a special office for her in February called the White House Faith Office, where she is a senior advisor,” journalist Pedro L. Gonzalez from the conservative Chronicles Magazine posted on X. “White once said, ‘To say no to President Trump is to say no to God.’”

When it comes to Israel, White-Cain claims to be very influential in Trump’s inner circle.

“As Senior Advisor to President Trump of Faith and Opportunity Initiative, Pastor Paula worked closely with faith leaders and the Trump administration in helping move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem,” White-Cain said on her website, adding that she played a key role in bringing together “three Abrahamic religions to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue with the signing of the Abrahamic Accords in 2020 by representatives from Bahrain, Emirates, Israel, and the United States, recognition of Israel’s biblical sovereignty in the Golan Heights, signing an executive order that recognizes “anti-Zionism” as “antisemitism,” and so much more!”
